Thermodynamics Textbook (English)

AI Thread Summary
The physics department at an undergraduate college is seeking a suitable Thermodynamics textbook for the upcoming semester. They have identified "FIZICA FENOMENELOR TERMICE" by C.N. Plăvițu as a strong candidate, but it is currently only available in Romanian. The discussion revolves around whether this book has an English or Hebrew translation. Additionally, there is a suggestion to explore resources under "Thermal Physics" and a mention that well-known texts by Reif and Kittel have not met the department's needs. The conversation reflects concerns about the quality of the assigned textbook and its impact on students.

Hi, the physics department at my (undergrad) college is looking around for a good Thermodynamics book for next semester.

So far, the best thing they found (and it sounds really good) is in Romanian. So... does anybody know if
FIZICA FENOMENELOR TERMICE by C.N. PLĂVIŢU
is available in English? (Come to think of it, if the book is available in Hebrew, that m i g h t help, too.)

Thanks!

He might want to look under "Thermal Physics" as well.

I assume Reif and Kittel have been examined and found wanting. (Sorry, I'm not really being helpful, either.)
 
I was just hoping for that one translation. Anything other than that is professor's problem, anyway, right? That is, unless the book assigned is really lousy, in which case it is majorly my problem... :rolleyes:
Thanks, guys! :smile:
